‘Look Homeward, Angel 9
Town honors Thomas Wolfe
ASHEVILLE, N.C. (UPI) - The
publication of “Look Homeward, Angel,”
in 1929 outraged many Asheville citizens
who saw portrayals of themselves in the
Thomas Wolfe novel.
But this western North Carolina city
pays homage to its most famous literary
native son this weekend with an extensive
exhibition of Wolfe’s life and works.
The exhibit is being staged at the
University of North Carolina at Asheville
to coincide with the 75th anniversary of
Wolfe’s birth.
,h I loved Wolfe from the moment I picked
up ‘Look Homeward, Angel.’ It is to me the
most poetically romantic novel in all
American literature,” said Richard
Walser, professor emeritus at North
Carolina State University, who will
moderate a panel discussion Friday of
Wolfe’s contemporaries.
But while the novel is now generally
considered to be a classic, at the time it
was published many Asheville citizens
thought they saw glimpses of themselves
and looked on it as a “gossip almanac.”
Wolfe died just prior to his 38th birthday
but did return home the year prior to his
death to find much of the resentment of his

writings had dissipated.
One of the unpublished manuscripts on
display as part of the exhibition contains
an apology from Wolfe, written in 1937, to
citizens of Asheville.
“May I say that if anything I have
written has displeased anyone in my
hometown, I am genuinely and sincerely
sorry,” Wolfe wrote in the manuscript on
loan from Harvard University.
The boarding house known as “The Old
Kentucky Home,” where Wolfe and his
fictional counterpart, Eugene Gant, grew
up, is now a National Historic Landmark
administered by the North Carolina
Division of Archives and History.
Arnold Wengrow, vice president of the
Civic Arts Council which is jointly
sponsoring the exhibition with UNCC, said
there is a difference of opinion over how
much local dissension was created by
Wolfe’s novel.
“Some people who lived here during
Wolfe’s lifetime will say, ‘Oh yes, people
talked about it but unless it particularly hit
your family there wasn’t widespread
resentment’,” Wengrow said. “But others
will say there was great interest and
resentment toward Wolfe.”
Afews summary
By United Press International
Patty, companions indicted
LOS ANGELES (UPI) — A grand jury has pared down
the California charges against Patricia Hearst and her
SLA companions to 11 counts bearing penalties up to life in
prison.
In San Francisco, FBI sources said Miss Hearst,
already facing bank robbery charges there, had been
positively linked to a bank robbery and killing in
Sacramento that could bring a death sentence.
“The media has tried Patty and found her guilty, so why
not everyone else,” complained her mother, Catherine
Hearst, in Redwood City. “The government wants to pin
everything on her in order to get rid of everything in one
lump.”
The Harrises were scheduled for arraignment today on
the indictments against them and have a constitutional
right to demand their trial begin within 60 days.
Hearst attorney Terence Hallinan told reporters his
client was “under a lot of pressure” to strike a plea
bargain and testify against the Harrises. “It would take
away the last of her pride,” he said.
The grand jury indictments supercede 19 state charges
filed earlier against Miss Hearst and 18 against each of
the Harrises.
More violence in Ireland
BELFAST, Northern Ireland (UPI) — Security forces
blamed Protestant extremists today for the worst
outbreak of bomb and bullet attacks in Northern Ireland
in months.
Authorities said 11 persons, most Roman Catholics, died
Thursday in day-long violence across the troubled British
ruled province.
Police said there was little doubt most of the deaths
were the work of Protestant militants seeking revenge for
Irish Republican Army bombings last week.
The latest killings threatened to trigger a new round of
religious warfare between the majority Protestants and
minority Catholics.
In Thursday’s attacks, four persons were shot to death,
four died when a bomb blew up a car, two were killed in
raids against pubs and one died in the bombing of a photo
store.
Authorities reported 183 persons slain in Northern
Ireland this year and 1,329 killed since the IRA launched
its campaign to drive Britain out in August, 1969.
In the most cold-blooded incident, raiders walked into a
Catholic-owned wine store and gunned down the owner’s
three children.
More people working
WASHINGTON (UPI) — Rehiring of laid-off workers in
manufacturing and the return of students to school
probably improved the jobless rate in September,
government officials say.
The unemployment rate was 8.4 per cent in August,
unchanged from July. But well below the 9.2 per cent for
May.
Arthur Burns, chairman of the Federal Reserve Board,
said Thursday that “the unemployment rate has declined
from a peak of about 9 per cent in May to about 8 per cent
currently (October)."
And Julius Shiskin, Commissioner of the Bureau of
Labor Statistics said last month employment indicators
have shown “vigorous growth” since spring. Shiskin said
there was almost enough evidence to drop the August
jobless rate to 8.3 per cent.
Increased factory production and hiring in the past two
months suggest the unemployment rate may have
dropped to the levels of February when the rate was 8.2
per cent.
Grant files bankruptcy
NEW YORK (UPI) — W.T. Grant & Co., the nation’s
17th largest retailer with more than 1,000 variety stores
across the country, today “celebrated” its 69th birthday
in bankruptcy.
Grant, founded Oct. 3,1906 in Lynn, Mass., by William
T. Grant, a shoe clerk with only two years of high school
education, as a “25 cent department store,” declared
itself bankrupt Thursday, owing more than $1 billion.
Under federal voluntary bankruptcy proceedings,
Grant will be freed from pressure from creditors and
allowed to do business as usual while it reorganizes its
finances and figures out away to pay its debts.
Robert H. Anderson, president, said Grant’s liabilities
of $1.03 billion exceeded assets by $1.3 million. But the
balance sheet does not explain the full extent of the
chain’s financial troubles.
During 1974, Grant lost $175 million, one of the biggest
losses ever by a U.S. retailer. Anderson said losses for
1975 were greater than expected and, at the company’s
request, trading was suspended Monday in Grant stock on
the New York Stock Exchange.
Hoffa reports checked
DETROIT (UPI) — The James R. Hoffa case took
another strange turn today with federal authorities saying
they are checking reports that the former Teamster boss
was slain in a private banquet hall and his body stuffed
into a trash compactor.
Federal authorities said the trash compactor at the
restaurant is serviced by a company incorporated by
major Mafia figures in the Detroit area.
Robert Ozer, the director of the U.S. Organized Crime
Strike Force in Detroit, said Thursday night that FBI
agents were investigating reports that Hoffa was slain in
the Raleigh House restaurant.
“Information concerning the Raleigh House has come
to us in good, usable fashion,” Ozer said. “We’re prepared
to go forward with it to wherever it might next take us.”
Hoffa, who led the Teamsters for 14 years until he
resigned in late 1971 while in federal prison, was last seen
July 30 standing in the parking lot of another suburban
restaurant located five miles from the Raleigh House.
James Joseph, the general manager of the Raleigh
House, said today FBI agents already were conducting an
investigation at the restaurant.

Keep hands
on wheel
EAGLE POINT, Ore. (UPI)
— Sam Galaviz, 18, solved his
sticky automotive problem by
detaching his steering wheel
and bringing it into a police
station.
His fingers had been lodged
in the small holes in the spokes
of the wheel so he parked his
car, detached the wheel and
sauntered into the station.
Officer Skip Tyler applied
generous amounts of soap and
water and sent Galaviz, with
both hands free, back to restore
the steering wheel to his car.
